Artist: Carolina AnderssonMaterials: sterling, 23k gold, gold and silver foil, tourmaline, rubber cordDimensions: W45 mm H 35, 16' Rubber cord Artist Statement: Tulip mania was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels. It is considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble in history. So, for the love of tulips, my love and maybe yours - I created this neckpiece with a few tulips in a bubble, with no speculation. Enjoy! Artist Bio: Carolina Andersson is originally from Sweden.
